Thank you for posting pics of the ac compressor apart, never seen any before.Where did you find the gaskets for the manifold and the top?

**Jimvr4** · 08-27-2013, 09:22 AM

I didn't look for them. These were re-used from the donor compressor.

Looks beautiful Jim!

I will, one day, make my undercarriage look as clean as yours.

What is that bracket you have to the left of your exhaust front pre cat?

Never saw all the stock brackets, huh? The small one that bolts to the exhaust is "Protector, O2 sensor" and the larger one is shielding the starter area, I forget the name. Most people probably pull these off and then forget where they go so they never get back on the car

You do exceptionally good work - I'm very impressed, and its not that easy to impress me ;-)

I'm just copying some of what you did and trying to make it look pretty. I'm getting pretty fearless about taking stuff apart at this point. Not too many bolts remain unturned on this car.
